ng just the right overlap and drift too close, and get a run.

About the same time I was reading about the "Dambusters" dropping the
skip bombs in WW2, and how they had to drop from exactly 60 feet.
They put 2 spotlights on the plane, angled toward each other, that
would converge exactly 60 feet under the plane.

So I got 2 small AAA powered lasers at Fry's, glued them to the gun
and pointed them to converge at 10 inches. Once I got used to it, I
can hold 9-11 inches easily without the lasers.



What an elegant solution! Bravo!
